From a technical perspective, AUD/USD has potential to further its upward movement. The daily chart indicates that technical indicators are trending sharply lower and are well above their midlines, yet not presenting overbought circumstances. Meanwhile, the pair is trading above bullish moving averages, with the 20 Simple Moving Average (SMA) showing upward momentum roughly 100 pips below the current level.
